This tour was a fantastic activity to start our trip to Charleston! The guide was INCREDIBLY knowledgeable and passionate about history in general, but also the history of Charleston. Loved every minute. His information is based on facts and primary sources. I learned SO MUCH. Very, very happy I took this tour. Highly recommend!

A must do for everyone! Our guide, Bill, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Charleston. He clearly loves the town and loves learning about its history. He was also very good at providing a honest, inclusive perspective of the challenges and achievements that led to the Charleston of today. He started to the tour by asking if there was anything we would like him to cover and ended the tour with providing recommendations from food to other history sites to see. The tour was the best value of our vacation!

Our tour guide, Bill was outstanding. I don’t know how one person can remember so much history! He was the most knowledgeable person I have ever met. He knew the answers to any questions and left no stone uncovered.

Bill was a fun and engaging tour guide. He had an history professor vibe and you could tell he loved his job. The time flew by!

Our guide Bill made the 2-hour walk fascinating. He wove from history to present day effects of historical decisions. He makes it come alive as he rattles off “what really happened,” from who really invented the cotton gin to a plea for recognition that slavery was the economic engine for all the colonies, even the North--and it was a truly morally corrupt behavior that was accepted by North and South. He explained the stark reality of the post Civil War period’s lack of slave labor. He also took us in the Dock Theatre, re-built by the WPA during the depression. Unexpected and delightful.

The guide (William Harris) was great and I learned so many new things. I have visited Charleston many times so it was good to hear about different parts of its history.

Fantastic! Our tour guide who is a historian and educator guided us with interesting facts and stories. If he were my History professor in college I would tell all of my friends to register for his classes. He made it fun while learning so much about Charleston, the sequence of events along with the why these events occurred that led to the ramifications after.

The tour guide was a historian and SO informed. He gave us an in-depth tour of Charleston between 1670 to 1865. He didn’t just show us the important sights but told WHY they are what they are.

I highly recommended this tour. Our guide Bill was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and really cared about his city. I have done walking tours in many cities, and this is the best tour I ever had. TAKE THIS TOUR!

Bill was a great guide! Unlike many of the other tour guides, he is a historian by trade and his knowledge of Charleston is deep and wide. He could answer any question we asked him, whether it was about architecture, botany or religion. I highly recommend him if you want an accurate and curated tour.

If you like theatrics, Dustin is your tour guide. He’s a funny dude. It was a nice stroll through the city. We especially liked being able to sit in the Dock Street theater for a minute and also the church that we were able to enter. Enjoyed the tour very much.

Our walking tour with Bill Harris was amazing. He was informative and energetic and we learned all about the history of Charleston while walking its beautiful streets. My friends and I all had a great time. If you visit Charleston, be sure to book a tour with Oyster Point—you won’t be disappointed!

I’m a local, but I had family in town and they wanted to do a walking tour of Charleston. I am so incredibly happy that we chose Oyster Point Tours. Our guide, Bill, was incredibly engaging and passionate about the history of Charleston, and I even learned some new and interesting information despite having lived here for years. It’s an honest look at the city of Charleston and there are definitely some hard truths regarding the city’s role as one of the main entry points for slavery, but Bill handles the subject with respect and honesty. I cannot recommend this tour enough, whether you’re a local or a tourist, it’s truly worth the time.

We enjoyed the tour and learned a lot. Got a good overview of Charleston and certainly had a better appreciation of the towns importance in US history. Our guide clearly felt passionately about Charleston and it history and didn’t sugarcoat

Our tour guide was Ross. He was very knowledgeable about Charleston and its history. He did a great job explaining important time periods in Charleston and the buildings/architecture. Great amount of info, excellent answering questions, polite and personable.

Very political comments by tour guide. More of a history lesson about facts that are wrong in history. I wanted to know more about Charleston and the city history and architecture. Also left us at the water front and did not tell us how to get back to market place where it began. Too much time spent telling us about him and his history.
